Oh and if anyone cares Iona FINALLY hired an assistant coach, met him last week...nice guy, former DII and current club coach. Although you wouldn't know it if you look at the website, still no announcement and he's not listed on the coaches page. Again, for an AD who runs his own Club Volleyball Program it's amazing the lack of support the program seems to be getting.

Becomes interim head coach after a stellar career at SMCM and GRADUATING in 2016!!. 3-year captain becomes head coach...where do we begin commenting?? First, I hope she does well...I wish her no ill will. Also, not only did I not apply for this job, I never thought about it and I know no one who did apply. No experience, was a peer/friend with her players just 3 months ago. Is this a comment on AD/school? Is job so bad this is best they could attract? Is pay so low, no one else would take it?

Here's a good one. We were at a tournament Saturday, playing a team at a neutral site. The coach of the home team walks up to me and greets me by name, and although she looks familiar, I can't place her. She says, with a decided New England accent, 'He don't even recognize me! What's the mattah with you?' She shock of recognition comes over me, and I'm happy to report that one of the better (and coolest, and funniest) coaches in the region is back at work.
That's a hint, right?

I don't know how qualified they were, but they had to at least have had a season under their belt.

ok BOD give a name!!!!/school!!! I can't because she told me 'it's not official yet....HR stuff'', although she has been doing the job as a volunteer coach since pre-season started. I'm awful with hints, so I'll tell you this story: More than 25 years ago, my team played hers. The next night I went to see a high school game. I walked into the gym, and there she was. I sat next to her and said, 'I didn't expect to see you two nights in a row.' Her response was, 'Most guys are happy to see me two nights in a row.' She's a pissah.

^ My thought would be the school is Daniel Webster College, a team that still says TBA on their head coaching site. The real question is, with the news coming out about ITT Tech, does DWC remain open for the entire semester/year/beyond?

Does anyone know anything about Texas College in Tyler TX? There is no coach listed on their website or on their conference's site. All I can see is that they are HBCU, and NAIA.

Not saying it is a perfect situation, and probably doesn't work out in most cases. But let's not forget what Shane Davis (now HC at Northwestern), was able to do being hired right after his playing career at Loyola on the Men's side. Again not saying it is the choice I would want to make, but it is possible to work.

Again not saying it is the choice I would want to make, but it is possible to work. I know a little bit about this job/school/program. 1. It is a state school, most people think it is private. And it is the most expensive state school in MD, the out of state tuition is over $40k a year. The name, St. Mary's, is the name of the town it is in. 2. Campus is BEAUTIFUL! But it is located 20 minutes from anything, and the closest "big town" is Waldorf, MD about 45 minutes away, and if you have been to Waldorf you know it isn't much. There are no schools to play within an hours drive, everything is so far. 3. The academics at the school are top notch, but the financial aid is lacking. 4. Last time they posted the job is was a full time position with no benefits. So hiring a young person who can still be on their parents insurance was probably a plus. 5. Facilities are nice and they are planning on building a new athletic complex. The location and the cost are the big hindrances to recruiting to this school. But even with that they have a competitive team. Maybe the candidates they had turned them down for these reasons. I wish Autumn the best!!
